Eggs can be cooked in the air fryer when you add a few other ingredients and the results look delicious - at least to most people. One TikTok user showed how she does it and what she made looked pretty appetizing, but not everyone is convinced by her easy method. Video creator Gabriela Maria went viral with her simple air fryer egg recipe , gaining an impressive 27 million views with more than 300,000 people saving the video to their favourites.
In the clip, Gabriela uses special air fryer baking papaer, which is specifically shaped to fit in her air fryer, to make her dish. All it takes to make her eggs in the air fryer is to crack them into the paper and add the other ingredients, providing yet another use for these already diverse kitchen appliances that many Brits have fallen in love with over the last few years. Air fryers have proven to be useful for a number of recipes and have made cooking meals at home easier for many individuals and families across the UK.
Gabriela simply adds a small bit of oil to the paper after she pops it into the open air fryer. She then cracks four eggs in. Here is where you flavour it to your liking.
Gabriela uses salt and pepper among other seasonings , but this all depends on personal preference. After that, she adds spinach , chopped cherry tomatoes and cheese. No mixing is needed before she pops it into the air fryer to cook.
She pre-heats the air fryer to 176C (converted from 350F) and the eggs then cook for between 10 and 12 minutes. What comes out a the end is an appetizing fritatta which took mere minutes to make. Having been shaped by the paper used in the air fryer, it comes out as a perfect square and can be cut into slices.
While many people found the recipe useful, others weren't too keen on it. Some people in the comments section pointed out how oil was used in the recipe when one of the benefits of air fryers is that oil isn't needed to cook things. One person wrote: "Kind of defeats the purpose of the air circulation.
" However, others pointed out how easy it seems, being able to put it into the air fryer and not having to watch over it like you would if you were cooking it on the pan. One TikTok user commented: "Ok I’ve been holding off on getting air fryer..
.but this is a game changer.".
